The following birds are available for sale at this time. They are priced so the average person can afford them. So don't pass up some good birds just because they're not priced at several hundred dollars each. If you're at the other end of the financial spectrum, you need to realize that these are pedigreed animals and not street pigeons. The day of the five-or-ten-dollar pigeon is long gone. They are priced so I can receive some reasonable return on the investment I have made in breeding stock, feed, time caring for them, etc.
What is a pigeon really worth? The value of a pigeon depends on three factors, and you can read about them here.
You will find some rare-colored birds among those listed. It is important to remember that we are a FLYING loft, not a COLOR loft. Our rare colors are required to fly right with the other birds. We sell youngsters that we raise out of our flyers, but we will seldom sell the rare-colored flyers themselves because we will be using them later as breeders.
I am selling pigeons, not paper, but almost all of those listed below have extensive pedigrees. I will provide whatever pedigree information I have on each bird listed. Feel free to email me and request an electronic copy of the pedigree of any bird listed here.
PLEASE NOTE: The USPS has recently hit us with a significant increase in postal rates, in some cases almost double what they had been. Therefore, if birds are to be shipped to you (shipping to destinations in the lower 48 continental USA only), the shipping charge (postage plus box) will be as follows: $80 for one or two birds, $120 for 3 birds, and $160 for 4 birds to cover the cost of postage and a special USPS-approved shipping box. Where possible I will try to get specific postage charges for your postal zone and the weight of the shipment. The cost of the box is then added to the actual postage. (4 or more birds means multiple boxes. Multiple boxes are often cheaper than using one of the larger boxes that are available. This is because the post office charges are based on size as well as weight. They charge significantly more for any box that is more than 1 cubic foot, regardless of weight.)
Payment can be made via money order or bank check (I do not accept personal checks). You can use Visa or Mastercard by clicking on the Paypal logo below if you prefer. Paypal "friends and family" is the preferred method of payment.

Stainless steel Racing Pigeon
Sputnik "drop cage", (sun porch, or release
pen). This particular type of trapping is one of the most popular. It comes not assembled. It is a great way to settle your young birds, yet keep them protected. Four drop down spots can be closed by hand to protect the birds. When you’re ready to let the birds out you pull the cord to swing open the door. Don’t pay $600 or more for a quality sputnik when we can get you one for a lot less. Dimension roughly 47 x 23 x 25. (Click on each photo to expand.) Made from quality materials. Some assembly required. Nuts and bolts only. Usually takes about 25 mins. Very well made! $299 plus shipping. Email us at 5307wolfe@gmail.com and put "sputnik" in the subject line to request additional informal information.

| 2. | May hatch 2025 blue bar cock no. 5420, carries the gene for barless. Sire is 9436-19, a barless blue that flew 5 races out to 120 miles prior to being moved to the stock loft and also carrying the gene for recessive opal. So there is a 50% chance 5420 will also carrie that opal gene. Dam is a blue check hen I obtained from the dispersal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft of Southern California). Paul was known as a very successful flyer in both local and one loft races. Price: $100. |  |

| 3. | May 2025 hatch blue check cock no. 5415. This is a medium-sized cockbird a background of quality.. His sire is an outstanding pigeon gifted to me as an egg by the late Jack Hunt, a former member of our local club. Jack passed away about a year ago but he never hesitated to purchase a quality pigeon that he liked regardless of the cost. He had recently purchased some birds from Lou Colletta and they didn't mate up the way he wanted them to. So when the hen laid he gave me her two eggs, so he could get her re-mated the way he wanted them. From those two eggs I raised two excellent blue bar cocks that I have been breeding from the last two years and I have been very pleased with their young. Unfortunately I never got the full pedigrees on the parents of those two eggs. So all I have on them is several band numbers but no details. The mother of 5415 is "4587", a blue check hen that I raised out of the "other" cock that came from those eggs. I sent 4587 to the 2024 IF Convention race in Florida where she placed 97/534 from 314 miles, handled by Jamie Tassert of No Mercy Loft. 4587's dam is a red check that flew in the 2024 Hoosier Classic and I picked her up in an auction of "leftover" birds that completed the series but were not claimed by the owners. Again, no pedigree on that red check but she sure is raising some nice birds. I will include whatever pedigree information I have but it is pretty sparse, being mostly limited to just band numbers. Price: $100 |

| 4. | SOLD2025 Blue grizzle hen no.5392. Flew just one race from 120 miles, placing 5th, in a weather-shortened young bird season. Sire is the grandson of an AU Elite Registered Champion and great-grandson of another AU Registered Champion. Dam (#3730) has flown 8 races including 3 from 200 miles. 3730 is out of a pair of long-distance white Delbars. Price: $100 - Sold (GM) |  |

| 5. | SOLD2022 Reduced hen no. 2452. Sire is 9443, a reduced cock that was trained out to 60 miles as a YB but pulled for stock as a yearling. He was the sire of at least two race winners and other children have flown very well for me. I consider 9443 to be one of the foundation cocks in my reduced family. 2452's dam is blue bar 7277, a daughter of an AU Registered Champion on one side and a granddaughter of an AU Elite Registered Champion on the other side. Price: $200 - Sold (GM) |  |

| ****DRAGOONS***DRAGOONS**** | ||||
Folks have been asking me for Dragoons for the last three years and it has been difficult for me to accomodate them because my breeding has always been concentrated on my Racing Homers. So I made it a point to push my Dragoons a little harder the last two years so now I finally have a few pair to offer for sale. I don't keep very many so at this time most of what is available will be blacks and whites. I will be posting only a pair or two at a time (when available) because most of what I raised were later in the year and I am not sure of the sex of many. In the meantime, feel free to email me to see if anything is available as I am still sorting things out. |
